Tried it already. Other unlimited teams strongly against integration of the two technologies and or HP limits. Just not realistic

Thanks for the true story. Think we will see ya'll race at the SBI race in Biloxi?

All the boats are running at the same time anyway right? Im guessing you guys don't want to be looking at the back side Qatar? And I'm sure they don't want Miss Geico washing them down with your roost right? sounds like racing to me.

Good luck Geico!
I think you made a great decision. The sport is going to be fun to watch again. I can't wait to see you and gasse going at it.
I think your turbine boat was awesome but it was hard to relate to. Then especially after the fire it just seemed to dangerous.

thought that was the excuse when you guys were running turbines. now that your on the other side seems like your using the same excuses ?

looking at the world standings you now make up 1/3 of the class, qatar makes up the other 1/3, so you & qatar should have a majority vote to push that thru, ah ?

I was looking forward to the whole piston vs. turbine thing and from Sheikh Hassan's press release, so was he. I loved how you guys responded to that. When did this change and who doesn't want it?

MissGeicoRacing 02-19-2013 05:20 PM

Dave , We asked the other boats in the class if they were open to it. the answer was a resounding NO. How do you twist that into us making an excuse? We tried

WE will be racing ANY turbine boat on the course at the same time we are (regardless of class structure). We are confident the boat will be competitive against anything on the course.

Brace..thanks for the support.

Proffessor...you got that right!

Purrfection...Biloxi is not in the cards. we need to get the boat set up properly NJ first race then Cocoa
